Edmund, Dachshund For Adoption In Greensboro, North Carolina

Location:

Greensboro, NC

Description:

Edmund is a man of mystery -- his past is simply baffling to us. Supposedly found in a drain ditch by a woman who then surrendered him to a vet clinic in Charlotte, Edmund then found his way to our organization when a vet tech at the clinic stepped up to see to his safety. We are not really sure what story is true about Edmund's past but there are a few clues that lead us to believe at one time he was much loved. Read on to hear more about this sweet senior guy... Edmund is a large (overweight) tweenie senior fella -- his rambunctious puppy days are well behind him, now decidedly more inclined to bake in the sunshine on the porch than run amuck with the young guns. At some point in Edmund's life, his owner cared enough to have a back surgery done (we can spy a faint scar down his spine which is a tell-tale sign) which has left him a little wobbly. Edmund doesn't seem to really mind the wobble and just asks that you help him regain his balance when he loses it as he putters around. At a recent vet visit to get Edmund evaluated we discovered that his vision is severely limited. Again, Edmund isn't really bothered by this and just wants to be by your side so that you can be his eyes for him. Edmund rides well in the car and prefers sofa surfing to sidewalk surfing most any day of the week -- so if you are looking for a walking partner, Edmund does not accept the position. Edmund does okay in a kennel but much prefers to just be with you (and he will vocalize this to let you know his displeasure). While in foster care, Edmund has been around other dogs and cats and been perfectly content with their company. Because Edmund is in his golden years and moves a bit slower these days, we think a home with small kids might not be the best choice though we really do not think Edmund would ever hurt anyone at all, just might make him a bit nervous. All-in-all we have vowed to Edmund to restore that one wonderful forever home he had at one point that cared so deeply enough to see him through a back surgery. We have told him that in our rescue, all dogs get a 5-star home prepared to give them the absolute best of the best! He is neutered, vaccinated and just had a dental. Edmund has been flagged as an anesthesia risk so he can no longer undergo surgeries of any kind (including future dentals) because it turns out sedation now makes him extra sleepy -- otherwise this guy has had a complete senior blood panel to be sure that he is in working order (and indeed he is)! He has so much love to give to a home with a perfectly shaped Edmund hole in their heart.##2041229##Adoption process1. Adoption Application -- requires a vet reference if you currently own a pet2.
